I love how, despite Musk’s best efforts, 3/4 of the internet still calls the site Twitter.

We were going to keep calling it Twitter no matter what, but it feels even better knowing how much he loves deadnaming.

“They call it deadnaming because it’s dead. My [Twitter] is dead.”

I also like Xitter, because in my head that can only be pronounced Shitter, which is a good name for it.

[-] webadict@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

You could also pronounce it like Exitter and it still works.

And there is a whole South Park episode with this name.

[-] masquenox@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Let's jusy call it Shitter, then.

[-] Eiri@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Hmm, but then we're outwardly dissing it and we can't confidently put it in serious reporting.

And aren't technically respectful disses the best?

My association with X is "Not Wayland".
